Please don't take this the wrong way, but you need professional help, Gozac. If the above is all true, then there's no getting around the fact that you need to get yourself checked out by any means necessary.
 
Where are you from, Gozac? I'm worried about you.


@moderators, this may be better suited material for The Dark Side forum. I want to help, but I.... I just don't have the words, at the moment.

The people that frequent The Dark Side may be better equipped as a whole to approach this kind of subject than us stoners over here are, in my honest opinion.
 
Welcome to BL, Gozac, I'm moving your thread to TDS subforum where folks are more in-the-know about this kind of stuff. Maybe it would help if you could explain why you think MJ triggered this anxiety. Bad trips aren't common with the herb so it may have been aggravating an underlying condition, in which case being seen by a professional like Jibult suggested sounds like a good idea..
 
Don't wait too long, go see a doctor and be completely open and honest with him.

Weed for some people as thujone said can be a trigger for certain underlying conditions, aka something that was already there but the weed brought it out in you.

I guess it goes without saying but don't smoke anymore weed for a while.

Best of luck to you
 
I won't smoke mj even if you offer me 100 million am from Nigeria so there isn't really a doctor I could meet truth is I don't even feel anxious at all my brain just feels locked up and just thinking on its own am supposed to go to the uni this year but now I don't think that is going to happen if God doesn't help me man I need help
 
I'm guessing what ou smoked wasn't mary jane, it was something else (bath salts?). Those symptoms aren't normal.
 
No, these symptoms are perfectly normal in a small subset of individuals who are vulnerable to extreme psychological distress caused by marijuana (n.b. synthetic cannabinoid blend products are much worse.) Given the extent of the situation and the presence of suicidal ideas, professional help is needed, some medications for anxiety, perhaps some therapy, and yes, time heals these things but in the interim these measures will have to do. Don't worry, it is a state of mind brought on by bringing chemicals into your brain which disrupted a delicate equilibrium. Over time it will return.

I don't want to worry you but some of these cases the fact will wind up being that you are experiencing onset of a serious psychiatric disorder which could have long term or life-long implications, this is another reason to urgently seek professional help for objective assessment and monitoring.

edit to add: I see you are from Nigeria and a doctor might be hard to get to? I work in psychiatry over here in the US, we have a lot of Nigerian nurses many of whom trained over there including in mental health ... there definitely being some significant differences but services exist. About funding it I don't know. Barring access to client grade mental health care are benzodiazepines (such as Valium, Librium, Ativan) or neuroleptics (such as Thorazine, Haldol, Prolixin ... focusing here on the ones that will be the cheapest and most widely distributed) sold over-the-counter or "under-the-counter" by pharmacists there? Can you access any sort of medication for anxiety? Are you involved in any sort of religious cultural practices that address or relate to these sorts of issues? This is the first priority, following only after physical safety, to address, and then on to everything else.

If you can't see a doctor personally, search for a psychiatrist in the internet.
He can help you a little and maybe give you directions about what to do.
Where's the nearest hospital? Are there only private hospitals where you live?
If this is the case, can't you ask for some money to a relative or friend?
You need help, I wish I could do something for you. I've been through all that and I know how bad it is, now I'm ok anyway.
 
Pls friends if there is any site you could suggest for me to talk to a psychiatrist will be helpful
 
yes, for me it was after lots of\ pure MDMA. At the beginning I was desperate like you are, I didn't know what to do.
I tried to get help from an hospital but they didn't do anything for me...so I began doing things which I thought could help my brain go back to his balance:
I walked a lot in nature, I watched comic and tragic movies, I listened to the music I had liked better, I also studied eve if it wasn't pleasant or simple at all.
My husband - who was still my boyfriend at the time - helped me with his love and support. This was very important.
I kept thinking it was just a matter of time before the end of that nightmare. After some months I was finally accepted in a drug recovery center, I went there once or twice a week and began a therapy. It took around 8 months to go back to normal.
 
No supplements and no medications, I was seeing a psychologist and sometimes a psychiatrist.
After the first months I had had enough of feeling like that, I still waited and "trained" like I explained, but I felt like I couldn't stand those sensations all the time.
So I began taking opiates, which I strongly advise you against. In fact I advise you against any kind of drug during this period.
You're likely to be temptated at some point, it'll be so hard and frustrating to go on, but if you stay strong your life is going to be ok in a few months. If you don't, your life can be changed forever. Listen to me, now this can sound weird or off-topic, but I think everyone in this situation is going to be fed up at a certain point, looking for anything that could make him feel better for a while. Don't take drugs.

How did you feel before smoking the weed? Were you mostly happy and serene, or anxious, discontent, unsettled?
 
It's funny I now realize I was extremely happy before this now everyday is a struggle with my thoughts with music playing in my head I just want me back
 
Here's what I think then: that thing that you smoked wasn't just normal weed, I don't know what it could be, but in any case it was something with the ability to alter your brain.
Your body is doing what it can to adjust things, but it's not something which happens overnight...you need to help it, do whatever you can to go see a doctor (a psychiatrist).
Where's the nearest first aid point? Can't you call them asking for help?
Do you live alone or with family/friends?
